A/N: wow thanks to everyone who reviewed, especially c-h-l-o-e-06 thank you for your wonderfully long review. I think is kind of screwed up right now so I'll do my best to get this out ASAP. I am very sorry that this chapter is much shorter than the last but I wanted to get this idea out of the way before I went on with the story. I am currently writing the 3rd chapter and hopefully it will be out very soon. Thanks again for review and don't forget to review again!!

Disclaimer: if u don't kno that I don't own harry potter then y r u even here? I mean really…come on….

Ron was walking right towards me and had the audacity to come up and put his arm around me. He started to say something but I was in no mood to even listen. After all, he was the one that said it was "my loss not his." Ha! And he thinks he still has even a chance with me? No way in hell! I push his arm off of me forcefully and saunter to the other side of the room, as far away from Ron as I can get.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here boys." I hear a mocking voice say from behind me.

Shit. I forgot this class was with Slytherins. Just my luck. I don't even need to look around from my wooden desk. I can feel his smirk on me while his slut, Pansy, clutches his very toned arm like her life depended on it. Stupid whore.

"I'm talking to you Granger. The least you could do is respond," said the dangerously sexy blonde said from behind me.

Not only can I feel Dra-no Malfoy's eyes on me, but also an infuriating red head's. Hmmm…this should piss him off nicely.

"Yes, Malfoy?" I ask as flirtatiously as I can while I turn around slowly. I make sure to keep eye contact with Malfoy the whole time, but position myself so I can see Ron out of the corner of my eye.

"I-I was j-just saying…" stuttered Malfoy.

Ha! I, Hermione Anne Granger made Draco Malfoy STUTTER!!

"Stuttering Malfoy? Tut-tut. Would have never thought you were the type. I mean I know I look good, but I didn't think you were of that opinion also." I say with no hesitation, maintaining my eye contact. His eyes seem to flicker for a second and if you hadn't been staring into them there would have been no way you could have seen it.

Ha! Bet no one saw that coming. I turn around and glance at Ron. His face is a brighter red then his hair his eyes are squinted and his mouth is pressed tightly together. Well, I think that went well!

It took Malfoy a second to process what I had said and, too bad for him, it was a second too long. As Professor Snape came into his classroom with his black robes billowing, all talk silenced and everyone pulled out their quills, ink, and parchment.

"Today, you will concoct an advanced potion. It is a love potion, but it is not what you initially think of when a love potion comes to mind. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this potion is?" Snape said with an air of superiority in his oily voice.

Oh, I think I may know what it is. As I put my hand up in the air, Snape calls on me right away, looking thankful that maybe one of his 7th years would know what on earth he was talking about.

"Professor, are you talking about the Indizi di Amore potion?" I asked curiously.

"Why, yes Mrs. Granger, you would, as usual, be correct. Now can you tell me what the Indizi di Amore potion does?" he asked me challengingly.

"Yes, professor. The Indizi di Amore potion, roughly translated means Love's clues. In this potion you will look into the cauldron and see two clues that will have something to do with your true love. No one else can see what your clues are and you will be able to see your clues for only one minute." I responded confidently, leaning back into my chair.

"Once again, that is correct. You will be partnered for this potion and, no, you will not choose who your partners are. Professor Dumbledore is pushing for house unity so, unfortunately for you, you will be partnered with someone from the opposite house."

Damn! Well maybe not. I might not be –

"Granger, your partner is Malfoy. Potter your partner…"

Nevermind. Fine. Since I'm partnered with Malfoy I think I'll have some fun with this.

I turn to face the blonde god and look him over, making sure that he sees this, and I pull my hand up and gesture with my finger for him to come over. (I made sure to do all of this while everyone else was going to find their partners.)

As he comes towards me like a little puppy dog I can't help but feel pleased with myself. I practically have Draco Malfoy, the hottest guy Hogwarts has seen, begging at my feet, and I have done all of this just to shove it all up Ron's sorry ass. Who knew I could be this cunning?

"You called?" he says with a smirk sexy enough to make any girl weak in the knees. (Me being no exception.)

"Why yes, yes I did. You are my partner after all, Draco. Now would you be kind enough to go get our ingredients?" I said enticingly. Hmm…if I can get guys to do my every will, maybe I should have a makeover more often.

" Of coarse, wouldn't want to upset everyone's favorite mudblood." He said, finally coming out of his trance.

Instead of giving him any reaction, I just stand there and smile at him as he goes to fetch the ingredients.

By the time he had come back I had already written down all of the directions on a sheet of parchment so I wouldn't have to look at the blackboard every 30 seconds.

As we chopped, sliced, measured, and poured, I made sure to "accidentally" bump into him on a number of occasions just to see his reaction, which were quite amusing.

We split the potion into two very large cups, one for him and one for me. The last step was to add a strand of your hair and watch the cup. We did, and waited.

I stared intently into my cup as colors swirled around until it formed the first clue.

It was a rose. If I hadn't been looking for things different about it I would have never been able to spot the details. It was a crimson rose with an emerald stem, with thorns of silver and the tips of the petals were outlined in gold.

The colors swirled again and a much smaller object was portrayed. A ring. A simple silver ring with ruby gemstone at the center. After about 30 seconds the image then enlarged to show that the inside of the silver band had writing on it. I pulled the cup closer to try and read what the image said. 'L'amour entre un lion et un dragon est eternal.' It was obviously engraved in a different language so I wrote it down thinking I would look it up later. The image disappeared and I looked up to find Draco staring at what I had just written down.

"Why did you write that?" he asked, slowly sitting down in his chair, looking as though he had just been hit with a bludger.

"Well it was in my clue. Why do you ask? Do you know what it means?" I said, almost afraid for the answer.

"Yeah, it means 'the love between a lion and a dragon is eternal.' It's French, the language of love. What was your clue that that was on?" He said still looking dazed.

"Um…a ring." I said trying to get over the shock of what the message meant. "Why?" I asked after I had gotten my voice back

He looked up at me, searching my eyes. "Because I saw the same thing."
